Giants Waive DB Leon McFadden, Promote LB James Morris

McFadden, 23, is a former third-round pick of the Browns back in 2013. He lasted a little over a year with the Browns before he was waived and later claimed by the Jets.

McFadden briefly caught on with the 49ers, but was unfortunately among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason. However, he later signed on to the Cardinals’ practice squad at the start of the regular season.

The Giants elected to sign him off of the Cardinals’ practice squad a few months ago.

This season, McFadden has appeared in two games and recorded a single tackle.
